The T34 that the Russians get is massively overpowered. Its amour is very, very difficult to penetrate. This is so bad I have seen people just sit in them in very exposed positions knowing they are safe. I have seen these tanks take 15 or more direct hits and nothing happens. This is almost game breaking sometimes and even at the best of times it just gives one side a huge advantage. Its very frustrating hitting a tank say 10 times while the player searches for you then kills you with one shot.
Now I dont want to get into the history or politics like others have done I just think a good game is a balanced game.
This verifies how much devs cared about historical accuracy. This unbalance is actually very good. T34 was the best tank in east front until tiger 1 came up to counter it. One of the main reason germans rushed tg 1 for service in 1942 was t34
Asymmetrical balance demands factions having different strengths, in moscow there is a T34 but in Berlin there are king tigers. Both fill the same rolling different campaigns and different factions.
You also have find someone wo use the stuka and can use the stuka withaut miss, bombing a tank with a plane compered with now i park here the tank and kill all thing wo speak kraut is very different, pass the t50 but add the t34 withaut a counter like a stug in moscow only put soviet in a better position (like soviet moscow need help anyway)
Yeah well if they would have been historical any hits that wouldnt penetrate likely would cause spalling on the inside because of very bad metals used to build the early models.
So 37mms would kill T-34s
Of course a chance, but possible. They should add into the in game T-34 so atleast 37mm isnt useless and can kill a T-34
I dont know mister, if everything can kill you with a snap, tell me how you can do your job? Even greyzone camp is inefficient because it can be killed with a snap
Incorrect, on this history side unfortunately.
Yes the Tiger and Panther were built to restore some semblance of superiority, however if you look at it historically, HEAT equipped StuG IIIs were killing them long before those tanks came into being.
Further to that, the PZ4 L43 and StuG F8 were also restored armored Parity on the eastern front VS thr 76mm equipped T34. Couple that with superior drivers and gun sights and it was matched quite well in 42.
